And like other roles in the circus there were lots of women who took on the snake charmer role and played it to the hilt. Some of the images of female snake charmers in this post date back to the 1800s such as the image above of a woman billed as the “Mexican Rattle-Snake Queen” above. By the turn of the century female snake charmers were common attractions and perhaps two of the best known and most photographed of them all was a woman known as “Octavia” who performed with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show under the title of the “Yankee Snake Charmer,” and “Miss Uno” who in addition to her snakes was well known for her out of control hair best described as a wind-blown Afro not unlike that of another well-known snake charmer Zoe Zobedia.

Opera House Wellington, The Great Levante … Hows Tricks, 1941, Chromolithograph, on poster 691 x 470 mm (cropped)), Printed Ephemera Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Reference: Eph-D-CABOT-Magic-1941-01 This event may have served as an escape from thoughts of war. The design continues the trend of posters of the 1930s which tended to be full of saturated colour. The Great Levante dominates this lively montage of fantastical vignettes, at the top of a diagonal column of fire at top right. The fire rises from a cauldron at bottom left, held by two devils. And at lower right, two devils shoot a young woman out of a cannon through a screen while rabbits and geese run away. Towards the top left, Levante shoots through two devils and a young woman, at the target. Other motifs include a guillotine, glasses and tumblers, playing cards, a skeleton, a woman in a glass case, bell, dovecote, bats and owls. Take a closer look
